Darer officially announced today that they are dropping their current squad, and introduced a new team consisting of mostly unfamiliar but talented Bulgarian players.

The old team led by ex- Natus Vincere captain Ivan 'ArtStyle' Antonov was formed last Winter and was an integral part of the European scene, taking twice 4th place in both Starladder season finals. It was also one of the 14 directly invited teams for the second edition of The International, where they surprisingly didn't show their best form and were kicked out in the early stages of the tournament.

Darer reveal the reasons behind their decision, noting that there were internal conflincts between the organization and the players. Here's the official statement:

"1. Some players just can't work in a team with others. There are some cases where you just don't get along with someone and you can't change that.

2. The fact that we are an organization based in Bulgaria and all our players were from Ukraine and Russia creates some logistic problems when it comes to boot camps, traveling, social activities, etc.

3. Language problems.. I can't say that we had big problems in understanding eachother, but I can definitelly say that the level of communication was just not good enough."

The new all-Bulgarian squad consists of players who are well known locally but are unfamiliar to the larger part of the European scene.
